Lo, The Proofreader.
“Speaking of bad proofreading,
ever hear about Smith’s bad break?
asked the old-time editor.
“It was like this: Mrs. Smith was
exceptionally tall and thin. She was
also an earnest church worker. When
she died Smith ordered a fine monu
ment, directing that the words, “Lord
She Was Thine,” be inscribed upon it.
The engraver failed to calculate the
space and the inscription read: “Lord
She Was Thin.”
When Advertising Ceases.
A generation ago “St. Jacob’s Oil”
was one of the most widely advertis
ed products in America. It was a
patent medicine enjoying enormous
sales. When Charles Vogeler, the
head of this business, died, an “ex
pert” went over the balance sheets
and saw the enormous advertising ap
propriation.
This “expert” trimmed the adver
tising expenditure to little or nothing,
reasoning that St. Jacob’s Oil was so
well known that it was unnecessary
to spend money any longer to adver
tise it. Orders dwindled as advertis
ing contracts ran out; business de
parted, never to return and it is safe
to speculate that hardly one in 50
who reads this article remembers or
ever heard of St. Jacob’s oil, one of
the best known products on the con
tinent 35 years ago.
A similar thing happened to James
Pvle’s “Pearline” —a company which
u«ed'a $500,000 advertising fund as
far back as 1904 and was one of the
best known products in the entire
world. The ad fund was ‘; op P e “
off”; the business went dead. It tried
unsuccessfully to make a come-back
in 1914, and sold its plant for junk
to a large soap manufacturer. Killing
off the ad appropriation wrecked
both of these prosperous businesses
and it would do the same thing to
almost any great advertising concern
today.—St. Louis Times.

“UNCLE REMUS” HIGHWAY
(Atlanta Journal.)
All Georgia will approve, and ap
prove heartily, the sentiment of the
“Uncle Remus" highway which it is
proposed to build by the cooperative
effort of the counties of Hart, Frank
lin, Madison, Clark, Oconee, Morgan,
Putnam, Jones and Bibb. A meas
ure has been introduced in the house
permitting these counties to organize
a highway district for the purpose,
with authority to issue bonds not in
excess of three million, three hundred
and ninety-five thousand dollars. |
That sum, it is reckoned, would suf- !
fice to construct the best of roads
from the South Carolina border of
Hart on to Macon, a distance of one
hundred and thirty-five miles. The
route would traverse a land rich
alike in tradition and in promise,
touching Hartwell, Royston, Daniels
ville, Athens, Watkinsville, Madison,
Satonton, where “Uncle Remus” was
born, and Gray.
Such a highway, besides serving
practical needs of large import,
would stand as a fitting memorial to
one who has immortalized the life
and legend of a picturesque era and
a countryside of singular charm. Joel
! Chandler Harris gave that region of
Georgia a place in the Land of
Heart’s Desire,
A land where even the
old are fair
And even the wise are
merry of tongue.
A beautiful tribute to him it would
be to build a road of remembrance
along which the children of oncoming
generations and travelers from the
wide world would recall his inimitable
j characters and bless again his kind
| ly genius.

I FREEDOM THROUGH LAW OB
SERVANCE
If the truth about alcohol could be
vividly known by all with a head and
a heart, observance would straight
way supplant enforcement. The bat
i tie lines must still be held both on
Rum Row and Roswell Road; but if
freedom is to abound, knowledge
must be increased. Parents, school
teachers, preachers, all who educate
and lead, must get busy. Accurate
I statistics and scientific experiment
are available. The rougher processes
of human experience cover the cen
turies. The truth can be fully
known. Life insurance companies,
with no interest to flatter or serve,
know the effect of alcohol on health
and life. The railroads and other
big business concerns know its effects
on efficiency and reliability. Armies
and navies are coming to recognize
that the loss of judgment and endur
ance through alcohol is greater than
any gain in recklessness or tempo
rary energy that it may produce.
| Athletics have banned it for the
I same clear reason. Politics, socia
bility, and human love alone still
tolerate it. The mild truth that its
moderate use, though pleasant, is
1 eventually harmful and of dangerous
tendency is clear. More clear yet
: is the tragic truth that when it has
mastered the human body with its
i fatal habit the freedom in whose
i name it was first taken is forever
| gone. Love, home, business, friends,
■ honor, respectability count for
i naught against its demands. Dis
-1 ease, bodily, mental, and spiritual,
dog the victim to his grave and to
■ an unknown extent spend themselves
I on his unfortunate offspring. -Surely
knowledge of the truth to any per
son with prudence for himself or
care for others would lead him to
say, My heaven-born freedom leads
me in the path of conduct required
by this law.—Samuel Hale Sibley,
Judge.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA„ AUGUST 7, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8. Jr.
After reading Mr. Veal's very
frank letter in last week's Sun, one
wonders just why it is, that Hart
well has fallen down with him. The
letter itself sets forth very clearly
the entire situation. There are no
“inside facts.” There are no hidden
issues. The whole question simmers
down to one single point: It is,
whether Hartwell people had rather
patronize out-of-town businesses
than a home industry; whether, in
this case of the bakery, we home-peo
ple are willing to let a business built
by patient and tireless hands, lan
guish, and a good citizen be forced
to move to another section. As far
as I am able to determine the goods
of Mr. Veal are just as worthy as
his competitors’ wares. It just
seems a matter of thoughtlessness on
our part.
Some one remarked around town
the other day, that there were only
three subjects being discussed in
Hartwell at the present time. Those
three subjects were, Rain, Florida,
and Golf. And, it’s true.
Around and near Hartwell, as I
have many times previously mention
ed, there are many interesting points
of interest. Hartwell and Hart
county, each in themselves, are rich
historical lore, and one may go in
any direction and never tire of re
visiting spots that always hold a
charm to the viewer and which al
ways wear that hallowed mark of
the' years. Such places, for instance,
as the old Camp Ground, the Sardis
section of Hart county, the pictur
esque and beautiful area around
Andersonville where once a thriving
little town existed and where today
only the ceaseless roar of the rush
ing waters of the Seneca river meet
those of the Tugalo and then go on
as one mighty river—the Savannah,
the Nuberg section with its ambitious
citizenry, and every community of
Hart county, each with its aggressive
| members pulling and,striving for
I better things, a hundred other sights
to be seen, all different. And there
are the stories, too, of the earlier
settlers —, our grandfathers, and
grandmothers—, and those quaint
days in which they lived. Such stor
ies, for instance, of an early gold»
mine which never panned out, and the
building of the railroad, and civil
war days and famous old Nancy Hart
whose legend has gone down in his
tory. And then venturing beyond
our own boundaries, one finds other
vistas and other towns and cities
equally as interesting. I think as
we grow older, the significance df
these things touches us more deeply
and we appreciate more keenly what
it means to have a “back-ground.”
No country is greater than its tradi
tions. No man greater than his
ideals.
And so, each summer as I have
come home, these things have come
back to me and 1 have reveled in
the soothing touch of renewed ac
quaintanceship. I have gone back to
the familiar spots of boyhood and I
have looked again upon those places
that will always live in my heart,
no matter where I may be. Looked
again upon the mighty Savannah,
roamed the old roads many of which
are highways now, ridden far and
wide to the neighboring towns en
circling us. Those towns and cities
seem almost a part of us—Royston,
Lavonia, Anderson, Elberton and
others. And all the while, along
with the old charms discovered new
and more fascinating ones.
Just a few miles across the Savan
nah river, over in South Carolina, a
matter of 45 minutes’ easy ride from
Hartwell is tiny little village of
HART COUNTY HAS GREAT
SCHOOL SYSTEM
(From University Items.)
Mr. W. B. Morris, County School
Superintendent of Hart county, who
has been recently appointed by
Governor Walker a member of the
State Board of Education, explained
at a meeting of Superintendents on
July 16, some of the work that has
been accomplished in his county to
ward consolidation.
Mr. Morris States that the county
has been divided into eleven districts
with a Junior High School in each
district. The Senior High School is
located in the city of Hartwell.
As a result of consolidation the
attendance has been increased from
53 to 90 per cent. The term has
been increased from 6 and 7 months
to 7 and 9 months.
Sources of revenue have been in
creased thereby enabling them to em
ploy better trained teachers. The
cost for transportation per month
per pupil is from ninety cents to one
dollar.
Those representing this county at
Summer School of Georgia are:
Misses Maude Carter, Lois McMul
lan, Grace Skelton, Evelyn Burns,
Margaret C. Bingham, Ida McGukin,
Berta Brown, Naomi Herndon, Sara
Anne Wright, Bertha Hubbard, Nina
Crump, Nena Crump, Bertha Thorn

fus Oglesby, Mrs. Nell Nichols, Mr.
Thomas Brown and Mr. Roy Hodg
son. —A. V. V.

Sweet Potato Pie—Yum!
Mr. Elder C. Heaton, of Liberty
Hill, enjoyed an old-fashioned sweet
potato pie from new crop potatoes on
last Thursday, July 30th.
He brought in a nice specimen of
his potatoes to verify the fact.
Next time we hope he brings a
piece of pie.

Starr. And here in this delightful
spot, amidst sheltering trees set apart
to itself, a typically Southern home
with broad piazza and high-ceilinged
rooms—colonial style—stands over
looking the broad acres that surround
it on every side. Restful, reaching
out a hand of welcome, it is an at
tractive retreat for every traveler
along the way. It is the home of
the Pruitts, who have through their
generous managing, contrived to es
tablish this as the most delightful
country hotel in all of South Caro
lina Building upon the sound idea
that the secret of success for a coun
try hotel is through its table, it has
everlastingly proven that idea into
successful operation. Not content
with merely serving wholesome aqd
well-cooked meals they have gone a
step further and put on their menu
such a wide variety of tempting
dishes that it is impossible for any
human being to even attempt to bat
tle against such odds. Fame quickly
spreads and as a result, this place has
become the mecca of throngs of vis
itors each day. Each day, those
hungry souls ride in, park their cars,
go in hungry and unbelieving at the
tales told beforehand and then come
out “filled” and with always that
expression, “how do they do it?”
For The Sun readers’ information 1
am listing a typical menu served
each day at dinner. Only a trip
over there can give the real picture,
though.
Menu, August 2, 1925—Sunday
dinner:
Sliced cantaloupes—iced.
Meats—baked chicken, fried chick
en, roast pork, chicken pie,
Fish—Fresh fried Savannah river
blue-cats —and with that starter, the
following other dishes: Macaroni
and cheese, dressing, rice and gravy,
celery, fruit salad, salmon salad, corn
pudding, potato chips, potato straws,
pastry rosettes, sliced tomatoes,
olives, pickles, stuffed eggs, hot bis
cuits, iced tea, ice cream, salted al
monds and after-dinner mints. (Hope
I haven’t left out anything)—added
to this a tricky little favor at each
plate.
Sitting in a friend's room the oth
er day, my eyes rested upon the fol
lowing framed message. It im
pressed me as being one of the sweet
est of all written things that come
only from the heart.
A Prayer.
“Let me do my work each day;
and if the darkened hours of despair
overcome me, may I not forget the
strength that comforted me in the
desolation of other times. May 1
still remember the bright hours that
found me walking over the silent hills
of my childhood, or dreaming on the
margin of the quiet river, when a
light glowed within me, and 1 prom
ised my early God to have courage
amid the tempests of the changing
years. Spare me from bitterness and
from the sharp passions of unguard
ed moments. May I not forget that
poverty and riches are of the spirit.
Though the world know me not, may
my thoughts and actions be such as
shall keep me friendly with myself.
Lift my eyes from the earth, and let
me forget the uses of the stars. For
bid that I should judge others lest I
condemn myself. Let me not follow
the clamour of the world, but walk
calmly in my pdth. Give me a few
friends who will love me for what |
I am; and keep ever burning before
my vagrant steps the kindly light of
hope. And though age and infirm
ity overtake me, and I come not
within sight of the castle of my
dreams, teach me still to be thankful
for life, and for time’s older mem
ories that are good and sweet; and
may the evening’s twilight find me
gentle still.”

who was called home July 24, 1925,

She loved her Lord and proved it.
She obeyed the teachings of James,

but a doer also.”
We will al! miss her, especially the

In Hart county, thirty-seven ru
ral schools have given away to nine
modern brick buildings, with a com
petent staff of trained teachers, in
cluding vocational agriculture teach
ers. Other counties are doing this
also, but it was urged that all the
counties take such steps as a means
of providing better educational fa
cilities to the youth of Georgia ru
ral communities.
Consolidation of rural schools is
strenuously urged at this session of
th elegislature. Speakers from
schools in Bibb, Glynn, Chatham,
